Saw this on the PY forum and thought I would start one here for the Birds.

Mine was purchased on 03-25-1969 at Oaklandon Sales Co. on Pendeleton Pike in Indianapolis. I have no idea if it is still there.

March 9, 1967, Knowles Pontiac, Troy, NY. No longer in existence. A local guy has a GTO that he purchased new at the same dealer in 69.

Mine was purchased at the Pontiac Retail Store, Pontiac, MI 12/6/68.

Mine was purchased in canada or the USA

Interesting topic! I do not post very often, but I have to share my experience. My car was bought from Troutwine Auto Service, in Arcanum, Ohio.(Zone 9/Dealer # 671) Invoice date of 4/5/67. The dealership is still in existence and under the same name and family ownership. They are located about 50 miles from me. About 3 yrs. ago, I stopped in the dealership and told the salesmen about my car and how it was under a full resto and originally sold by the dealership. I shared all of my pictures and documentation with them. They told me that they have most all of the original documents in storage since the dealership started back in the 30's. I said that it would be cool to look through that someday. They said that I could start looking right then and there! All of their paper documents are stored above the dealership! I spent the next 2.5 hrs. sifting through their ledgers to find my VIN. I did not find the original transaction in 67, but I found where the car was traded back in in 70. So, I was able to find out the original and second owner's names! I plan to take my car this summer back to the dealership to get some photos and possibly find more documents. I have since found a couple of NOS key fobs and some older original license plate frames from the dealership. I think it would be a very interesting story for a magazine....

Cool story.

Vincel Pontiac of St. Louis as far as I know. I could be wrong, since I didn't research it, but signs point that way
It was manufactured in spring of 68 at the Ohio plant. I don't know the purchase date.

I wanted to keep the Vincel tag riveted to the rear panel, but it got lost/tossed when painted. I believe I am the 3rd owner.

If you have the PHS, it has a dealer and zone code. Those can be researched at http://ultimategto.com/art18.htm. Help fill in the blanks if you have more information.

My 1968 Convertible was bought by Vincent Hilton at Bud Meadows Pontiac in Seattle and has survived a college kid that bought it from Vincent and then sold to Rick Bloomberg and that is the guy I bought it from. I tried tracking down the original owner just to show him how his car looks now but could not come up with anything. I thought it would be sort of cool to track him down just to let him know his car is still around. The car is still in Seattle.

Hello does anybody know about Pontiac Village Inc.
in Boston Mass.Thats were my convert. came from.
Thanks Mike

My '69 was originally sold at Frank Gillman Pontiac in Houston, Texas. It looks like my car and Bjorn's car crossed paths

RosettiJ, looks like it, maybe met halfway at some point....

I think Frank Gillman Pontiac is still around ,at least it was recently...I remember seeing them fo many years

Packer Pontiac
Detroit, MI

Jim, our cars were 85 apart out of Lordstown, and the first owners were only a few miles apart. I wonder if they ever crossed paths?

That is cool! As far as crossing paths, probably not much. My guy ordered his while in Vietnam and never came back. It sat in storage until the son sold it to me. Was your guy in the military too?

Huber Pontiac, Springfield, Illinois.
It was on a corporate lease for 15 months before I bought it from Huber.

Interestingly, it was probably never at Huber Pontiac. Huber had it shipped directly from Lordstown to Portland, Maine. From Portland it went to the Minnesota company that leased it when their employee was terminated. (Yes, a 400HO red convertible Firebird for a company car.) From Minnesota it traveled directly to my home in the Chicago area after my dad spotted it and made a deal with Huber on my behalf.

It wore Minnesota plates in '68 and early '69. I still have those plates and use them on it at some shows.
